OVERVIEW

TURTLE WATCHING-is one of the much loved activities of tourists in Oman. About thousands of sea turtles migrate annually from the shores of the Arabian Gulf, the Red Sea and Somalia to lay their eggs on the Sultanate’s shores.
Thousands of people come every year to Oman to witness this natural phenomenon of the turtle nesting.

OMAN HAS FIVE OF THE SEVEN SPECIES OF THE SEA TURTLES:
-Green Turtle
-Loggerhead Turtle
-Hawksbill Turtle
-Olive Ridley Turtle
-Leatherback Turtle
They are found on most Omani beaches like Ras Al Jinz, Masirah Island and Ad Daymaniyat Islands.
During May through July, the turtles venture closer to shore to feed and to procreate. The period of July-October is said as the peak time for turtle watching in Oman. These are some of the few unspoiled places in the world where tourists can observe them in their natural habitats.
